Online guest reviews are no longer just feedback — they’re public proof of how your marina performs. Whether it’s praise for your dock team or a complaint about the showers, what your guests say online shapes your reputation, booking rates, and repeat visits.
But here’s the challenge:
Reviews are everywhere — on Tripadvisor, Navily, Google, Facebook — and they’re written in different languages, tones, and formats. For busy marina teams, manually reading, sorting, and acting on this data is next to impossible.
So how do modern operators turn this chaos into clarity?
